Depends on what the mods are.
I bought my bike with a buttload of mods on it. However, included in that was aftermarket suspension, upgraded brakes, power commander, techspecs, etc.
If it's all cosmetic stuff I am not interested. Also, it helps if the OEM parts are included so you can swap back to stock.
Having dumped a lot of money on mods, I can definitely appreciate the effort put into other people's bikes.
However, that doesn't mean I will pay $10K for a bike that's worth $6-7k max.
IMO, I would always pay a premium for bikes that come with high end parts vs a stock bike.
Less money for me to spend down the road and whatever I don't like/need, I can part out.
Upgraded suspension, brakes, etc. are all fine with me!
It's funny how once you've been on the track your list of "would like to have" mods on bikes you're purchasing switches from HID's and junk to suspension and brakes

Not really. Never wanted any "junk" on my bikes.It's funny how once you've been on the track your list of "would like to have" mods on bikes you're purchasing switches from HID's and junk to suspension and brakes
If it doesn't make it go faster or stop faster, forget it.
Sometimes you have to add a little something that completes the look of the bike.
I added black pro-bolt engine casing bolts to my 750... the silver ones stood out way too much.
I never cared for HID's and all that jazz.
you can buy a lot of nice bikes for $10K.
hey guys had some guy email me said he wanted this bike I posted on kijiji for 2000

That word doesn't mean what he thinks it means
Anyway, I find that R1 owners in Ontario seem to believe depreciation does not exist:

3600 is pretty fair.
Tell the guy that emailed you, if you want to go cheap buy in the US and get the same bike over the border for under $3k.
If he wants the convenience of buying here he pays $3600.
His choice.

its not fair to judge as kijiji is free. the kms are a killer on this one. 8yrs old. on the other hand some great deals on R1s with dudes that really need the money

"Bike was tipped over in parking lot" LOL. Sure it was.
One of the US motorcycling magazines did a used bike report on the SV650S.

$3600 seems high for an 05. The paper magazine actually lists the values by years.
I had a 1999 with 70K, ran great. Until I crashed it, uh, tipped over in my driveway. The EFI and ABS SVs are among the best bikes you can buy.
It's too bad we don't know what they sell for, but with kijiji, just ignore the price.
That is not a tip-over on the parking lot... its a lowslide on the parking lot...
But it all depends on how the engine looks, dont get me wrong the lowslide is not a biggie in this case, but its all stock, and i dont see anyone chipping out almost 4k for all stock 8 soon to be 9 year old bike ;0

I listed this for a friend and I'm selling it for him too. I don't know what he did, does seem like a lowside, until he tells me to change the ad I have no control over what he wants me to write in ad. Im getting 500 bucks out of the deal.
